Hi,

I am using IMAPD from pine4.64 on Scientific Linux 5.0. The basic
functionality (accessing mails) of IMAPD is working fine. I am using
PAM to control access privileges of users. I have configured pam_tally
to lock the user account after a fixed number of login failures. The
strange behavior which I have observed is that IMAPD does not
increment the login failure counter on wrong credentials even it
resets the counter to 0. pam_tally is working fine for other services
like ssh and login. Have any of you observed this problem earlier.
Below is my pam_tally related entries in  /etc/pam.d/imap file

auth       required     pam_tally.so per_user deny=10
account    required     pam_tally.so

Please comment.

regards
Sharma
